Overall, I think I enjoyed this book, but definitely felt too long by the end of it. There is a lot developed about the Hex Americana (which is like a giant car race), but there are aspects of the world that felt confusing. There are details that are never given that take you out of the story while you're reading it, and long explanations of other things that maybe weren't needed.

For the most part, I did think the characters were well developed and were probably the most interesting part of the story. The art was also engaging and interesting, adding in the action of the car races which can't necessarily be easy to do in a graphic novel.

If you don't mind longer graphic novels that do have a strong character core, then this might be for you! It was just a bit of a miss for me.
